⚡️‘The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity’ to become the main theme of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

“The Eastern Economic Forum provides an opportunity to discuss economic, political, and social issues not only in Russia, but throughout the world. It is one of the most important platforms for developing cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Without cooperation and mutually beneficial partnership, development is impossible. Unfortunately, we see what is happening in the modern world: the unfounded political ambitions of certain neighbouring countries are harming business interaction, as well as the humanitarian and scientific spheres. But Russia remains open to cooperation,”

Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said.

"The main theme of the upcoming Forum reflects the value of equal international dialogue and peaceful coexistence as the foundations of sustainable development,"

🇷🇺🇨🇳The importance and significance of the "Made in Russia" festival-fair was emphasized by the leaders of our countries — Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a meeting on May 8.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko announced this during his speech at the online fair of Russian brands, which marked the launch of the Made in Russia festival.

"We thank our leaders for their attention to the development of these relations. The previous festival-fair was a great success, in part because our president personally attended the exhibition in Harbin. It also showcased our cultural offerings, allowing our Chinese friends to learn more about Russian history,"

the Deputy Prime Minister said.

💴The "Made in Russia" festival-fair, which was launched by the online fair in Moscow, is being held for the second time at the Harbin International Trade and Economic Fair. This year, on an area exceeding 1,000 square meters (twice as large as in 2024), the Russian Export Center has presented products from more than 100 Russian manufacturers representing 50 regions.

"The ‘Made in Russia’ brand has long been a symbol of quality and reliability, recognized worldwide. The fair plays a crucial role in strengthening and promoting this brand, expanding its global presence and creating new opportunities for Russian manufacturers. Right now, products from participating Russian brands are selling at a rate of one item every four minutes (from 8,000 to 50,000 units) during the ongoing livestream—that’s 250 million rubles per hour!"

emphasized Alexander Stuglev, Director of the Roscongress Foundation.

📌Over sixty producers from various regions of Russia took part in the online fair in Moscow.

"We hope to continue working successfully on mutual cooperation and expect bloggers to also contribute their part. We are leveraging all advantages—artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and remote negotiation capabilities—to boost our bilateral trade and reach a new level. In fact, Russia is China’s fourth-largest e-commerce market, and we can stimulate mutual development. This is an exclusively win-win cooperation. We can also conduct settlements in our national currencies—this is significant progress. Today’s event helps strengthen cooperation between our two countries, and ‘Made in Russia’ can become a key platform in this endeavor,"

said Zhang Hanhui, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation.
